WSU students may face 7 percent fee hike Fee costs could rise more than tuition increase if senate OK's SFRC suggestions By Jeff Haney Signpost campus affairs editor For the first time since the inception of the Student Fee Recommendation Committee student fees may rise more than spiral ing tuition costs. In a nine-hour meeting Saturday, the SFRC hammered out a proposal by consensus for the recommended allocation of more than $4. 5 million in student fees, kicking up the total cost of student fees 7 percent. The ASWSU Student Senate will vote on the recommendation today at 2 p.m. If the recommendation does not pass the student senate, the SFRC will be back at the drawing board to lower the percentage of student fees paid quarterly. WSU students now shell out $121 per quarter in student fees in addition to tuition. As expected, the 17 percent student fee request increase by the Athletic Department was met with fierce resistance by some committee members.

If the administration says 24th Street now bears King's name By Taylor S.

If passed,the proposal would add the name Martin Luther King, Jr. Street to the 24th Street signs from G Avenue to Harrison Boulevard. The proposal would not permanently change the name of the street. Tim Wilder presented the proposal on behalf of Father Berconsha w, pastoral leader of St. Joseph's Church at 514 24th Street. The proposal was originally submitted to the Ogden City Council in October, but was forwarded the Planning Commission. "We felt 24th Street would benefit the most from this designation, because the street connects West and East Ogden to downtown," Wilder said.

"Think of the students," Jacobs said to the other committee members, who staunchly supported the increase for athletics. "I think that gender equity is important but it is not our responsibility." ASWSU Executive Vice President Diana Dillingham conceded to the $864,213 recommendation at the vote. "We are saying to send them elsewhere," she said. "But they are.

In another bold move by the SFRC, the committee suggested the student fee funding phase-out of academic advisement by 1998-99.
